Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6 and remove the pastry from the fridge while you wait for the oven to heat.
-
Roll the pastry out on it’s parchment paper, straight onto a flat baking sheet.
-
Spread the garlic and herb soft cheese over the pastry in an even layer, leaving a 3cm gap around the edges.
-
Starting at one short side, lay 4 asparagus spears onto the cheese, alternating tip up tip down, then lay a quarter of the beans next to them. Repeat with the remaining asparagus and beans until the cheese is covered – the veg need to be quite tightly packed together.
-
Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and season well.
-
Using the parchment paper if necessary, fold the pastry up over the edge of the vegetables, so that they are contained but not covered.
-
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and cooked through, and the vegetables tender.
-
Remove and grate the parmesan straight over the top. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes, then cut into rectangles and serve hot, warm or cool.
